No professional engineer or scientist will waste their time challenging Heiwa's claim. Why?
Because they would have to literally prove it and they can't. They can't because they either have no clue as to how to do it or they know that it is a massive sham and don't want to out themselves.
What are you basing that assumption on? I doubt any eminent Scientists have a clue who this nutjob is in the first place to even consider taking on his 'challenge'. He simply doesn't register in their world because he hasn't done anything of note (and please don't cite his visual catastrophe of a website, because I'm sure he will).
In any case, let's assume for a second that a leader in the field stumbles across this challenge. Why would they be afraid that Bjorkman is correct? Science is always striving to make new discoveries. If, as some FE'ers suggest, scientists are compliant with a global conspiracy to hide the truth from the rest, at what point do these scientists become indoctrinated? During their University Degree? I work in a Physics Department at a University, and all I see is intelligent people honing their craft and performing experiments to back up their research. I certainly know that I've never been told to lie to students about science, do you not think I would have noticed if my colleagues had? Are all the Astrophysicists in my department deliberate liars, for example?
I don't know why you people keep doing this, so let me explain this one last time and keep it in mind.
I have nothing against scientists doing their work. Some of them are brilliant. They are dilligent and smart people, clearly.
They dedicate most of their lives to figuring out whatever they are tasked with or not tasked with in certain cases.
I have no issues with this.
I also have no issues with scientists/professors, teaching students about what they themselves are adept in and knowledgeable about.
They are doing their job and also most scientists are not mind channelled into the workings of a global Earth in space or stars and planets, etc.
Those scientists can go about their own work and still believe they are on a globe or that rockets work in space and all the rest of it. They may be smart but smartness doesn't exclude them from being naive.
If you invent a robot that mimic's a human in every way due to your brilliance in putting the circuitry and such like together, it doesn't give you any expertise on a globe or space but people would listen to you and believe you if you merely stated that it was. It's about people choosing to believe someone they think is qualified to say anything scientific, even if it's not their field.
As for astrophysicists and what not - what are they studying?....the sky from the ground.
If they left school to study the sky and what not, then they are studying what's been told to them.
They can sit and think of all kinds of stuff from that point. They can say that they found a planet or what appears to be one and believe it, even though what they see is a minute dot or whatever.
Like Hawking (supposedly) who can cite that the universe started from nothing.
It's all just theoretical/hypothetical thoughts and nothing other than that.
It's no different to religions.
There's no physical proof but millions upon millions of people run their lives by it, because they trusted in the person or people or books that set that religion in motion. The mere thought that it is or isn't true to people is something that is open to any particular persons mind, just as unprovable space science is.
It can be simply made up to fit a pattern over time, which this globe model and all the rest of the gunk has been done (in my opinon) with addages over time to bamboozle the inquisitive minds who see flaws.
It's like the John Titor story of time travel. He starts a story off and people question it. As he tells the story, some people pick up on a flaw, so he amends the story in such a way that it becomes hard to trip him up, by simply saying " oh well this hasn't happened on the date I said because my timeline changed due to travelling in a different path to the expected path"...and so on.
Over time, by logical thinking and by chance, things will transpire that echo what he's said.
Now there's 3 ways a person can look at the story and either one could be correct yet never known for certain which one.
1. People can cast it off as some clown taking the piss and reeling in gullible people.
2. People can buy into it because what he says appears to be fairly fluent and predictions made have come to fruition.
3. A conspiracy theorist can argue that the person has been put into forums to deliberately push a time travel story and knowing the outcome of many things because those that employ him, know what's ahead by orchestrated future incidents.
1 and 2 would be lassed as feasible.
3 would simply classify conspiracy theorists as going into another level of tin foil hat partying.
The story can become a never ending story if the story teller is around to tell it...and even if he's not; the story has gained enough audience to carry it on to the point where a large number of people will accept that time travel is real.
Oh yeah and I know you can cite that you can see this and that and use laser beams, ham radio, red shift and blue shift, etc, etc to say this is correct. All I'm saying is, you don't know for sure what you see. You're told it and you see what you're told about, so the logical thing is to go with that, which concludes that any other explanation is simply people acting unstable or walking about with a tin foil hat on...and so on.
It's in your psyche and also in the psyche of scientists the world over to think it's all true and to follow that path rather than question it, if it's not their real line of work.
I would hazard a GUESS that those scientists that are interested in Earth science, probably know there's a lot of stuff that's not legitimate but what can they do?
They aren't going to stand in front of a panel and proclaim it's this shape or that shape, or the sky isn't what we've been told it is, because not only will they lose their credibility in their work, they will lose their job - or worse - be put into a nut house under the guise that they went loop the loop or tried to pass on secrets...or..name anything you want. Do I know this for sure? no I don't but I'm giving you scenarios as alternatives to what you think is all above board knowledge which may be anything but.
It's entirely up to each individual to believe what they want and I'm fine either way. I have my own thoughts.
